Hello, I'm new to the forum so hopefully I have this posted in the right place. I recently purchased a 1996 Cherokee sport with a rebuilt title. The Jeep came with a 3 in lift 32 11.50 15 bald tires on 15x10 in wheels. I was told that as part of the rebuild they had to replace the passenger fender, passenger door and front axle. After I got it home I realized the front axle was replaced with a low pinion dana 30 with 3.55 gears and also after measuring the lift from axle tube to frame rail I realized I have about 5 inches of lift in the front (3 inch coils and 2 inch coil spacer) and 3.5 in the rear(full leaf pack I think). The problem is I need new tires and with the stock gearing I would like to go down in tire size to maybe a 31 and remove the 2in coil spacer to bring the front down to a true 3 in lift. With my rims being 10in wide I would need wheels and tires and was thinking of going to a 245 75 16 or 265 75 16. My question is, is there any reason not to do this? What kind of problems might i have removing the coil spacers( I'm already planning on replacing sway bar links because bushings are shot). I think thats it. Thanks in advanced.
